Combine the exhilaration of kayaking beside these breaching, spouting, power swimming orcas, with rugged coastal scenery, magnificent west coast rainforest, and you have the ultimate personal and coastal kayaking experience.

We will see many Orcas, often up close as we travel. These resident Orca whales are gentle, curious, intelligent, and playful creatures. we’ll also paddle by the famous “Rubbing Beach” at Robson’s Bight to see the Orca whales scratching and playing together in the shallows near the beach. Don’t forget your camera, because we’ll not only see Orca whales but also numerous eagles, deer, otters, osprey, seals, and salmon runs. This is a Canadian ecotourism wilderness kayak adventure that you’ll never forget.

Orcas use a sophisticated combination of clicks and whistles to communicate, find food, define objects, and keep track of family members. When orcas are in range, we are able to drop our portable hydrophone [microphone] into the water and listen for these sounds. Our guides will be in radio communication with spotters up and down the coast each morning to determine where the Orca pods are and in which direction they’re moving that day. This will greatly increase the number of daily encounters the group will enjoy.
